1942 Map of Cameron

About this map

Moundsville and the industrial corridor along the Ohio River anchor this 1942 edition, which documents the complex topography of Marshall County just before the mid-century. While the riverfront shows the density of McMechen and Benwood, the interior is a dense network of ridge-top settlements and deep hollows, including the colorfully named Speakeasy Hollow and Seldom Seen Hollow. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks follow the winding paths of Grave Creek and Fish Creek, connecting interior towns like Cameron and Glen Easton to the river valley.
